Welcome to the Dayton area! I live about 30 min. south of Dayton in Middletown. We just had a new quilt shop open just off of I-75 at the route 122 exit. It is a small shop, but good prices. It is called Complete Quilting. They have long arm services and you can rent time on their long arm. It is behind the Cracker Barrel and next to El Rancho Grande.
About 15 minutes away from that shop there is one in Trenton, right on route 73. It is called Valley Quilts. It has lots of classes that are fun.
In the Dayton Mall area, there is a JoAnne's. I have never been to the Waynesville shop, but I hear it is great! Maybe we could do a meet and greet there sometime!
We have a quilt guild that meets at the Middletown Library once a month. PM me if you want more info on that!
